Some attemps to simulate the development of tropical cyclones by numerical methods.

We have performed a series of numerical experiments which attempt to simulate the genesis of a hurricane. The initial state is taken to be a weak, cyclonic vortex which is symmetrical. We assume that a large number of convective clouds are embedded in this initial vortex. In each of these clouds, th...

Descrição
Resumo:We have performed a series of numerical experiments which attempt to simulate the genesis of a hurricane. The initial state is taken to be a weak, cyclonic vortex which is symmetrical. We assume that a large number of convective clouds are embedded in this initial vortex. In each of these clouds, there is pseudo-adiabatic ascent through a conditionally unstable atmosphere.
